6	* The first time Hikaru ever uses magic, she knocks down Alcyone, one of the most powerful mages in Cephiro. Complete with ThemeMusicPowerup in the anime.
7	* Despite being grievously wounded, Umi wants to learn magic to save Hikaru from Alcyone. Not only is she successful, but Fuu learns magic to heal them both.
8	* The battles in the Spring of Eterna, when the girls are attacked by those most precious to them and can't bring themselves to fight back. When they realize that they're only illusions (after a pep talk from Emeraude, who is rapidly losing her powers), they each invent powerful new spells and defeat them in one shot, obtaining the Escudo.
9	* Fuu's battle with Caldina. Her friends have been hypnotized to kill her, so she invents a spell on the spot to bind them. Then when Caldina takes control of ''her'', she breaks the enchantment through sheer willpower and invents a ''second'' spell to take her out. (In the manga, at least. The anime has Ascot helping out, so she only invents one spell.)
10	* Hikaru vs. Lafarga, especially her BadassBoast in determining to win using only the sword. She manages to disarm him, despite the fact that he'd been curbstomping all three of them.
11	* The girls defeat Zagato by combining their attacks.
12	* While the ending is tragic, the trio did manage to beat Zagato and Emeraude with barely any time to recover between the two fights.

14	!Manga
15	* The first time the girls summon their temporary weapons, assuming an AssKickingPose. Even cooler when Umi realizes she's not the only one who knows how to fight and complements the others on their form.
16	* After Ascot takes out Hikaru and Fuu with a monster immune to fire and wind magic, Umi is left to fight on her own and Ascot starts summoning even more monsters. Just as one of them is about to squash her, Fuu casts a shield spell and then faints. Even though she's so injured she can't stand, she ''invented a new spell'' just in time to save Umi.
17	* Umi defeats about a dozen huge, dangerous beasts almost single-handedly... and then she marches up to Ascot and makes him ''apologize'' for insulting her friends. Then with a slap and a KirkSummation, she gets him to do a HeelFaceTurn.
18	* During the battle between Eagle and Hikaru to determine which of them will become Cephiro's new Pillar, Eagle reveals his plan on what to do as the Pillar. He wants to relocate everyone on Cephiro to the surrounding planets and remain alone on Cephiro, which he'll turn into a dominant state, to prevent the tragedies of the Pillar system again. Hikaru immediately tells him how wrong he is and that his plan is the same as Emeraude's plan, which would hurt people. Her conviction and inner strength is so strong at this point, she becomes the new Pillar.
19	* At the end of Rayearth II, Mokona reveals that it is God and declares that Eagle Vision will vanish for failing the Test. Hikaru challenges this. And Lantis [[DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu threatens to kill it]] if it doesn't let them both go.
20	** And then there's Hikaru dragging Eagle back with her, despite it being stated to be impossible. ''Then'' Umi and Fuu cross dimensions themselves and help her.

22	!Anime
23	* In episode 3 "Ferio, the Handsome, Mysterious Swordsman", Fuu using her bow to break a rock that was summoning monsters when it was hundreds of feet away.
24	* Fuu gets one in episode 7 of the anime when she slices the MonsterOfTheWeek in half as it tries to eat her, which makes her weapon evolve.
25	* While the circumstances were tearjerking, Hikaru's weapon evolving in the eighth episode. As she was forced to kill a monster, she'd befriended to save Umi and Fuu.
26	* Umi's weapon evolves in episode 9, "The Magic Knights' Greatest Crisis" when she breaks through the LotusEaterMachine and accepts that she's got to become a Magic Knight. She makes it back just in time to save Hikaru and Fuu from Alcyone.
27	* Selece's revival as a Rune God in episode episode 10, where he defeats the MonsterOfTheWeek by clasping his hands together.
28	* Hikaru has one that lasts half of episode 14 wherein she chases a monster that abducts Umi and Fuu. She charges headlong through a forest of thorns, gets knocked into a canyon, falls three times while climbing out, and, despite being quite a bloody mess, still has the strength to take out the monster in one hit from her sword and a magic spell. Not only that--she figures out that the monster is able to smell out blood like a shark, so she ''cuts herself with her own sword'' in order to make it come back so she can kill it. Both {{Determinator}} and PluckyGirl don't even begin to describe it.
29	* The reappearance of the Rune God's in episode 22, "Cephiro and the Three Countries". They explain to the girls, they too wish to protect the people of Cephiro and offer their power to Hikaru, Umi and Fuu. Also counts as a SugarWiki/{{heartwarming moment\|s}}.
30	** Eagle's first appearance of the [[HumongousMecha FTO]].
31	* In episode 32, "Umi and Fuu and Fahren and Chizeta", the battle between Lady Aska's Giant!San Yung and Tartra and Tatra's guardian Djinn.
32	* Umi and Tarta's sword duel in episode 35, naturally, Umi wins.
33	* Ferio, Ascot and Lantis' rescues (or attempted rescue, in Lantis' case) of Fuu, Umi and Hikaru, respectively, in the second season when the girls are captured by the invading countries.
34	* Fuu remains calm when captured by Princess Aska in episode 36, managing to beat her in her own game of bow and arrow. And then [[SilkHidingSteel she politely but firmly]] states her views, [[CharacterDevelopment making Aska realize how childish and selfish she had been.]] And then, she defeats an army of ninja single-handedly. The whole thing makes Ferio's big, dramatic rescue look rather superfluous.
35	* In episode 37, "Revive! Hikaru's Sword", Hikaru finally defeating Nova during their BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind.
36	* Lady Aska summoning the Giant!Sang Yun to battle the ''NSX'' in episode 42, [[Heartwarming/MagicKnightRayearth all in an effort to protect Fuu]].
37	* Umi and Tatra's duel in episode 44.
38	* Eagle arriving to aid the Magic Knights in their battle with Nova to help them rescue Lantis, who is being held captive insider her Rune God Regalia in episode 47.
39	* Hikaru charging at Debonair in episode 48, hoping to take revenge on her for killing Eagle. She was out for '''blood'''.
40	* Debonair's defeat in the second season finale.
